Singer Songwriter On Drugs

I know all musicians are supposed to be tortured souls who need to escape the confines and restrictions of this mortal, flawed world.

I know we’re supposed to be seekers always searching but never truly finding.

I know we’re supposed to be experts on the myriad of ways to “expand the mind”.

I know…but…I never. Nope, I’ve never been a singer songwriter on drugs of any kind.

No, I have to say I never did drugs. Didn’t even smoke pot…which is now so legal here in Colorado it’s more prevalent than Starbuck’s.

Through the years I’ve received “tips” of marijuana, cocaine, and other things from people who enjoyed my performance on stage. I know they’d be aghast at how I flushed it all down the toilet on my breaks. But I did write a song back in the late 80’s or early 90’s using lots of drug references. You can download it from this blog. And if you were a subscriber to my podcast, you’d get it automatically without having to download it…so much easier. 🙂

The song is “Nothin’s Gonna Happen To You”. Enjoy, and let me know how many drug references you count in the lyrics.

I'm The Rhyme and Reason author, singer-songwriter. I've written and published 20+ books for kids and adults in addition to scores of articles. And I've composed hundreds of songs (and a couple of books) for businesses and loyal listeners. Tens of thousands of families have enjoyed and supported my recorded music and live performances for many years.
I believe our existence is a beautiful gift from God. And He's given each of us gifts and talents. So, we should use them to create and serve others.

"Tony has taught me how to refine what I say for various audiences and I’ll be eternally grateful for that. Children, ladies, and yes, Real Men, will love every second." ~Greg Perry (acclaimed author of over 100 books)

"Funderburk has salvaged the essence of the 1970’s Jesus Music and the emerging CCM of the 1980’s."
